> which sytem table is checked when 'show tables' > command is executed in MYSQL ? > If you want to get information about your tables and your database, there is one way to do it that doesn't involve upgrading to Version 5.0 or using the Show commands: you can write a Java program that interrogates the java.sql classes, particularly DatabaseMetaData and ResultSetMetaData. I have done this succesfully in Version 4.0 on several occasions. Of course, if you don't know Java or don't want to write a program to find out about your databases, this will not be an attractive option for you. Rhino -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
